Pain Free Training with a Positive Approach

Training should be an enjoyable experience for both you and your dog. The more you understand about how your dog thinks and learns, the more effectively you can communicate. Clear communication means successful training and good behavior—with no need for coercion or physical corrections.

à la carte Training $75.00 per hour With à la carte training options you can build your own 6-week training package ($350), or work on only one new skill at a time and pay by the hour. This is a great option if your dog already has skills, but you wish to teach something specific. Alternatively, if your dog struggles with a specific behavioral issue such as resource guarding or separation anxiety, we can design a training plan tailored to those specific needs, including how many sessions it will take to accomplish your goals.Below are just some examples of what you can teach using the à la carte option:

"Training is not a luxury, but a key component to good animal care. Everyone who has a pet should understand that basic fact. Training is a way to enhance the quality of life for out pets. It is far more than just teaching a dog to do a cute trick. Training is about teaching a dog (or any animal) how to live in our world safely" (Ken Ramirez)
